Washington, DC

In and Around Karlštejn Castle
A couple of weeks ago, I took a day trip out from Prague to Karlštejn. The small town is just a short train ride away through some of the Czech countryside, and the vibe is so different from the bustle of the capital. The views around Karlštrejn are so scenic and calm…. Along one of…

Late Afternoons on the Vltava River
Late afternoon and early evening are my favorite times of day to be around the Vltava River here in Prague. In good weather, people always come out for paddle-boat sightseeing…. And the light slanting in at this time of day is beautiful, giving all the riverside architecture a timeless look… …as well as adding extra…

Walking through Prague
I had a couple of days off work this week, and I spent the extra free time wandering the streets of Prague. I love taking in the city by exploring and meandering. : ) Today, I started my walk near the Vltava River…. The restaurants along this part of the riverside have a great view…
